Part 1: Podcasting Social Justice

First, I interview Faith Kurtyka (@fmkurtyka) from Creighton University about a recent podcasting assignment she gave to students in the Cortina Community, a living-learning community at her school.

We then hear an excerpt from one of the projects her students conducted: “The American System and Pay Inequality” by Vincent Salazar and Kaylee Stankus. You can hear their full episode and learn about all the other students work at the Cortina Community blog.

Specifically, we hear about Bowie's "week in review" assignment, which asks students to use the serial audio format of podcasting to teach each other about what they've learned in class. The full episode, and the resources she mentions in this clip, are available here.

In the interlude before Part 3 begins, I mention 3 pieces of scholarship on podcasting in the classroom:

Part 3: More Scholarship, More Ideas, More Trauman

Finally, we hear a segment prepared by Ryan Trauman (@trauman) with an overview of five pieces of scholarship on podcasting in the classroom. (By the way, I would love to feature more segments like this. What do you know about? What have you been reading?)

Great stuff! I just found this podcast and I absolutely love it, particularly the source roundup at the end.
I'm interested in writing and the maker movement, especially in how writers represent things that are made with devices like 3D printers. This episode got me thinking about how the process of making a physical object can coincide with producing audio, like a podcast or audio description of the thing.
Audio also strikes me as an accessible way to represent ourselves in digital spaces.
